Gary Barnacle Biography

Gary Barnacle is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on November 28, 1959 in Dover, Delaware, United States.

He started playing in bands in and around the Dover area, with his father Bill Barnacle, his brothers Steve Barnacle and Pete Barnacle and their friend (Nick) Topper Headon. Then he moved, with his two brothers, to London in 1976 and began a career as a session musician. Barnacle performed the saxophone part in many songs and albums by The Clash. Early examples are “City of the Dead”, B-side of “Complete Control”, “1-2 Crush On You”, the B-side of “Tommy Gun” released as a single on 24 November 1978, and their version of Booker T. & the M.G.’s’ classic “Time Is Tight”, released on the 1980 extended play Black Market Clash. Both songs can also be heard on the 1993 compilation album, Super Black Market Clash. He also played on their later albums Sandinista! released on 12 December 1980 as a triple album, the single This Is Radio Clash released on 20 November 1981 and Combat Rock released on 14 May 1982 through Epic Records. He was introduced to The Clash through their drummer, and school friend of Barnacle’s, Topper Headon, and reportedly became involved in The Clash’s infamous 1978 “pigeon shooting” incident.

Barnacle formed a horn section in 1978 with trumpeter Luke Tunney, called the Hit And Run Horns (named after the band that they were members of at the time). In 1979 they added Annie Whitehead on trombone. These three played on many sessions together for the next three years or so (until Pete Thoms came in on trombone in 1982). Barnacle collaborated with The Ruts on their first two albums, both on Virgin label, The Crack, released in September 1979, and Grin & Bear It, released in October 1980. After the death of their frontman, Malcolm Owen, found dead from a heroin overdose on 14 July 1980 at the age of 26, the band continued as Ruts D.C. (where “D.C.” standing for the Latin term “Da Capo”, meaning “back to the beginning”) in a different musical vein. Barnacle became a stable member of the band and they released two other albums, Animal Now in May 1981 on Virgin, and Rhythm Collision released in July 1982 on Bohemian Records. Ruts D.C. split in 1983. During 1979–1980 he also contributed to M’s debut album, New York • London • Paris • Munich, released in 1979, and to Sanity Stomp, released by Kevin Coyne in 1980.
